Last week was the May two-four weekend (i.e. Victoria Day) and I headed to Vegas with Colleen and Leanne, met up with Lisa there. A good, albeit tame time was had by all. Our first night, we arrived there sometime around 10 their time, and headed out to the club LAX at the Luxor.
That was ok, just not as spectacular as I had expected Vegas club to be. We were there until 7 in the morning, and then up early to wander the strip. I think we walked a good 8 hours - checking out all the hotels etc.That night we saw Le Reve - the most amazing show I can say I have ever seen! They make Cirque look like entertainment light. I spent most of the performance either gasping in awe or sitting there with my jaw dragging. Now I must be fair and point out that part of it was the sheer sexiness of the performers, but whatever it was, I was awed by the whole thing.
Didn't go out that night b/c everyone was so lame. The original plan was to go back to the hotel, grab dinner then head out (we were on the guest list for 4 clubs) , but first Colleen, then Leanne, then Lisa bailed. We had room service and crashed. For the next morning (at 7) Lisa and I booked a helicopter tour into the desert, flew over Lake Meade, the Hoover Dam and landed in the Grand Canyon, where we had mimosas and a picnic lunch. Definitely one of my life-highlights. Ended the weekend marathon walking again, although Lisa and I did gamble for a bit in the casino at Caesar's Palace, where I won at blackjack and sucked at roulette, coming away having found $20, parlayed it to $100 and promptly losing it all. So ya, had a good time - have seen the desert, have been to Vegas with Colleen...two more down.
